How to Buy USDN?

Learn how to earn 4.2% Yield with Noble's Stablecoin.

The Dollar That Pays You

Have you heard about a dollar that pays you for holding it? That's exactly what Noble Dollar (USDN) offers - a stablecoin that generates yield automatically.

USDN is currently offering a base yield of 4.2% just for holding it, plus additional rewards through their limited-time rewards program. If you're looking for a way to put your stablecoins to work without complicated DeFi strategies, this is an opportunity worth exploring.

What is USDN?

USDN is a composable yield stablecoin that's overcollateralized by U.S. Treasury Bills. Built on the Noble appchain (which leverages Cosmos infrastructure), USDN automatically distributes yield earned from these treasury bills to token holders.

What makes USDN special:

  • Real Yield: Unlike many crypto yields that come from token emissions, USDN's yield comes from actual U.S. Treasury Bills

  • Automatic Distribution: No need to claim or stake - yield is distributed automatically 

  • Solid Backing: 103% collateralized, making it more secure than many other stablecoins

  • Built on M0 Foundation: USDN leverages M0 Foundation's infrastructure and uses the tokenomics of their stablecoin $M as its building block

For developers, USDN offers customization options, allowing integration with other protocols while customizing branding and tokenomics to create positive-sum flywheels.

FAQs

Q: Is USDN safe to hold?

USDN is 103% backed by U.S. Treasury Bills, making it more secure than many other stablecoins in the market.


Q: Do I need to claim my yield manually?

No, the yield is automatically distributed to your wallet


Q: Can I withdraw my USDN at any time?

 Yes, USDN can be sold back to USDC at any time through the Noble platform.


Q: What's the difference between the points vault and boosted yield vault?

Users who deposit into the points vault earn points that could have future utility in the Noble ecosystem, but they do not earn the 4.2% base yield. Users who deposit into the boosted yield vault earn a variable boosted yield based on yield forgone from the points vault but do not earn points. The points vault earns you points that may have future utility in the Noble ecosystem, while the boosted yield vault provides enhanced yield on your USDN.


Q: Is there a minimum amount required to buy USDN?

There's no official minimum, but you should account for transaction fees by keeping some USDC in your wallet.


Q: How is USDN different from other stablecoins?

Unlike most stablecoins that are simply pegged to $1, USDN automatically generates yield from its Treasury Bill backing and distributes it to holders.
